The phrase "Evolution is a fact"

or else we are being sold an absolutely fictitious bill of goods which RAZD's link which tells a very pretty story about the alleged documentation of 40 million years of Pelycodus evolution, but is in fact a blatant and fraudulent fairy tale based on no science what so ever

The splitting of the population into different clusters based on size is what is evidence of the speciation event.RAZD's saying with reference to alleles that the change is gradual. He is assuming that size in Pelicodus was determined genetically. This seems to be what you're objecting to as an assumption. Do you in fact object to this? Do you think it's unreasonable to assume that an extinct organism had genes? or that it's unreasonable to assume that its size was under genetic control? Or both?By the way, this is very much a side issue - the evidence is the change in size distribution.

In order for you to build your theory, you must deny and ignore common sense and rational consideration for how the real world actually works.

Archangel, please expand on this. I enjoy your challenges, more specifics will help the debate.

This is why the old earth world view must exist in order to justify a slow and tedious process of evolution when none of it is true or factual at all.

Bruce, stop making general statements like this and give us some specifics. If you believe this please give some evidence for it. What evidence do you have that there is a deliberate conspiracy to invent a great age for the earth to shore up evolution? I mean evidence other than your belief.
